    Seated on time. Calm interior, quiet conversation. No background music to be shouted over, which is a big plus, especially if you have hearing aids! Service was attentive. Espressos were admittedly forgotten by the wait staff, which was otherwise excellent. Once she was reminded, it appeared quickly. Onion soup was hot, cheesy and delicious. Risotto notable for superb combination of flavors. The half portion was generously sized. Cheeseburger was actually cooked medium rare, as ordered. Nice to have selection of several sides not just French fries. The sesame bun was toasted perfectly. Traditional condiments required special request as no ketchup or mustard was offered or presented. Main dish was served as we were still eating our soup. They had great Cole slaw! Beverages of the alcoholic type were diverse and apparently satisfying. The dessert menu looked marvelous, but we did not partake of its offerings, choosing espresso instead. One of my criteria for a good restaurant, having a functional pepper mill on the table (and salt), which was on the table when we were seated. Check! The bread items were freshly made and artisanal. The basket arrived automatically and was not added to the tab. Lighting was subdued. Atmosphere was warm, cozy and relaxing. The menu was creative but not off-putting as there were items familiar to most diners, as well. It is nice to be able to select the size of ones entrée, obviating the need for leftovers unless one is a fan of leftovers. Thoroughly delightful experience! This is one of my favorite restaurants in Columbus! I will return again soon!

    Slow night due to weather. Arrived at 7 and sat quickly. Brussels sprouts are a favorite for an appetizer! We had the chicken sliders and the salmon, Delicious! Skip desert but Malbec wine was spot on as was the Assistant Manager NA Beer. Thanks to the kitchen and staff for a nice night out.
